I purchased this several years ago from an estate/antiques jewelry dealer. I can’t find the receipt on this one, but I’ll do my best to describe it. (Somewhat) harder to find larger size on these older bands, and it has never been resized.
I believe it is:
-size 9 (this I did have written down so I’m certain it was sold to me as a 9 by the seller, and that seems accurate to me)
-approx 3 mm wide by approx 1.5 mm height, it is somewhat minimal at least in the height, but sturdy/no issues
-solid 14k yellow gold, with a nice buttery look (it is stamped)
-it has what I believe is a blossom pattern, and the sides have a really beautiful, very well done milgrain that is still in quite good condition. The overall condition of this ring is almost excellent, particularly for the age, imo. The blossoms and milgrain stand out extremely well. It does show some very light scuff/scratch type marks, which I’m sure could be polished out and are just due to the age of the ring, but overall I think the condition is very good.
-not certain of the weight, I would guesstimate it is likely in the 2-3 grams range.
-beautifully engraved with: J.M. to A.A., 4-5-41
-stamped B 14k
-small bonus - I have the original box as well. It’s certainly not in as good a shape as the ring is, it shows a lot of wear and discoloration (it’s just a tiny cardboard box) but I will send it along with the ring. It is pictured in the last pic.
-resizing on this one could likely be done by a very skilled jeweler but would very possibly interrupt the pattern
-Only the band is included in this listing, any other rings shown are just for photo purposes

I try to discount everything I sell from what I paid, so all sales are considered final; between this site and eBay, I’ve had hundreds of successful sales, you can click on my listings here to see or search on eBay, my seller name is the same there. I do strongly prefer PayPal friends and family for pymt, but will not insist on it if the buyer isn’t comfortable - still needs to be PayPal though :) I’m very receptive to questions.
